Welcome to the 2012-2013 school year!!

Wow! How has a week of school already gone by? We are off and running and really looking forward to a great year with your children.

This year we will really focus hard on writing skills. The first language arts unit has a focus of expository writing. Most students in our school come out of 2nd grade already strong writers in expository writing therefore we can build 3rd grade skills within a style that they are already comfortable.

Ms. Whalen's class will be starting the year with Science- Muscles, Bones and the Nervous System.
Ms. Wetzel's class will begin the year with map skills and then will travel on to Canada and World Rivers.
Ms. Miles' class is beginning with her readers and writers workshop.

Thank you for supporting us and your student as we travel through this year together!
